Something non-scientific does not use scientific methods to gather information or to decide what to believe. It does not automatically mean 'stupid' or 'wrong.' A family story, a gut feeling, a religious teaching, or a guess on TV can all be non-scientific: they may still matter to people, but they are not built by measuring, testing, and checking in a way others can repeat.
Something non-scientific一個 non-scientific 的東西 does not use不用 scientific methods科學方法 to gather information來蒐集資訊 or或 to decide what to believe決定要相信什麼。 It它 does not automatically mean不會自動等於 'stupid'「笨」 or或 'wrong.'「錯」。 A family story家族流傳的故事、 a gut feeling直覺、 a religious teaching宗教的教導、 or a guess on TV或電視上的猜測 can all be non-scientific都可能是 non-scientific: they它們 may still matter to people對人可能仍然重要, but但 they are not built建立它們的方式不是 in a way others can repeat別人能照樣再來一次的 measuring, testing, and checking測量、測試和檢核。
Though actually, people often throw this word as an insult, as if 'not science' were the same as 'nonsense.' Scientists guess too, and some popular 'science' online is sloppy. The fair use is about method, not about whether you like the claim: did anyone test this so that another person could try the same thing? If not, call it non-scientific — a description, not a verdict by itself.
Though actually不過其實, people often throw this word人們常把這個詞丟出來 as an insult當罵人的話, as if好像 'not science'「不是科學」 were the same as就等於 'nonsense.'「胡說」。 Scientists科學家 guess too也會猜, and而且 some一些 online網路上 popular 'science'流行的「科學」 is sloppy很草率。 The fair use公道的用法 is about method是在講方法, not about whether you like the claim不是在講你喜不喜歡那個說法: anyone有沒有人 did test this測試過這件事, so that another person could try the same thing讓另一個人能照樣試一次? If not如果沒有, call it non-scientific就叫它 non-scientific—— a description一個描述, by itself本身 not a verdict還不是判決。
